Hat- el sombrero
Small hat- el sombrerito
Hands- las manos
Small hands- las manitos
Island- la isla
Tiny islands- las islitas

BELOVED NOUN

Using direct object pronouns is very similar to using relexive verbs. The difference is tha instead of using the reflexifive part (i.e. me, se, nos) to represent an action being done to a person (i.e. washing myself), the direct pronoun is used to indicate an object (i.e. me invito, He invited me)
The direct object pronouns are;
1) me- me
2) lo, le- him, you (singular masculine)
*Note- if you can say “to him, or for him”[ i.e. Le hable, I spoke to him] you use le.
3) la, le- her, you (singular feminine)
*Note- if you can say “to her, or for her”[ i.e. Le hable, I spoke to her] you use le.
4) Nos- us
5) Los, Les- them, you (plural masculine)
*Note- if you can say “to them, or for them”[ i.e. Les hable, I spoke to them] you use les.
6) Las, Les- them, you (plural feminine)
*Note- if you can say “to them, or for them”[ i.e. Les hable, I spoke to them] you use les

Examples:
Lo invito. He invited him.
Las invito. He invited them (the women).
Me invito. He invited me.
La invite. I invited her.
Nos invito. He invited us.

Le hable. I spoke to him.
Le hable. I spoke to her.
Le escribi. I wrote to her.
Les escribio. He wrote to them.
Nos escribio. He wrote to us.

Objects

In a nutshell, objects (nouns i.e. shoes) can be explained as “it” or “them”. For, example, Lo quiero (I want it).
Objects:
1) lo- masculine nouns
2) la- feminine nouns
3) los- masculine plural
4) las- feminine plural

Examples:
Lo quiero. I want it (i.e. el libro, the book).
La quieres? Do you want it (i.e. la libertad, the freedom)?
Los di. I gave them (i.e. los libros, the books).
Las di. I gave them (i.e. las revistas, the magazines)

Using Both the Direct and Indirect Object Pronouns

Examples are the easiest way to explain.
Examples:
1) Me lo dio. He gave it to me.
2) Me la dio. He gave it to me.
3) Nos la dio. He gave it to us.

***Note***
If the objects and pronouns are used in combination, the le, la, los, las = becomes se.
Examples:
Se lo di. I gave it to him. To say le lo di is incorrect.
Se la di. I gave it to him.
Se la di. I gave it to her.
Se lo escribo. I wrote it for her.
Se la escribio. He wrote it for her.

REFLEXIVE VERBS

In most cases, reflexive verbs are used to explain an action that is being to a person. For example, in Spanish, to say I wash myself is “me llavo”. The reflexive part (i.e. me-myself, se-yourself, himself, herself, te- yourself, nos- ourselves, se-themselves, yourselves [plural]) can procede the verb in all different tenses. But, the reflexive verb follows the verb when the verb is in the infinitive (i.e. llavarse, to wash yourself). Most reflexive verbs are made from verbs with the same meaning , such as llavar, to wash.
The reflexive part can be placed before or after a verb in the future tense. For example, Me voy a pesar, or, Voy a pesarme.
To make a reflexive verb, think to yourself if you can do the action to yourself, such as wash yourself (llavarse), sit yourself down (sentarse), behave yourself (portarse), etc.
The words that indicate the action are;
1) me: myself
2) te: yourself (use for a familiar person)
3) se: yourself (informal)
4) nos: ourselves
5) se : themselves, yourselves
To make life simple, you can always place the reflexive part in front of the verb. Note, the when two verbs are used, such as saying “I am washing myself”, the reflexive part (i.e. me, se, te, nos) goes in front of the other verb as well, (i.e. Me estoy llavando, I am washing myself). Another example is the future tense, “I am going to wash myself”, “Me voy a llavar”. One more example is “I was washing myself” which could be translated as (Me estaba llavando).

EXAMPLES:
Present Tense:
Examples
Me llavo. I wash myself.
Te llavas. You wash yourself.
Se llava. He washes himself.
Nos llavamos. We wash ourselves.
Se llavan. They wash themselves.
Other present Tense: i.e. I am (an action)
Me estoy llavando. I am washing myself.
Se esta llavando. He is washing himself.
Nos estamos llavando. We are washing ourselves.
Se estan llavando. You folks are washing yourselves.
Se estan llavando. They are washing themselves.

Past Tense:
Me llave. I washed myself.
Te llavo. You washed yourself.

Future Tense (the ending can go beforethe verb ir=to go, or after the reflexive verb :
Me voy a llavar. I am going to clean myself.
Voy a llavarme. I am going to clean myself.

Se va a llavar. He is going to wash himself.
Va a llavarse. He is going to wash himself.

Nos vamos a llavar. We are going to wash ourselves.
Vamos a llavarnos. We are going to wash ourselves.

Se van a llavar. They are going to clean themselves.
Van a llavarse. They are going to clean themselves.

Gustar- To like
This verb is a special case because the verb is assigned to what you like. An example is the easiest way to explain this. For example, when you say, “ They like”, it is spelled “ellos gustan”. Notice the an ending is the plural. Well, when you say, “they like it”, it is spelled “Les gusta”. Notices that the ending is just a.

With gustar, “le” replaces the se that the other reflexive verbs use for he, she, and it. And “les” replaces the “se” that the other reflexive verbs use.

Present Tense:
Singular Object (i.e. I liked it [the car]. Me gusta)
Examples:
Me gusta: I like it
Le gusta: You, she, he, it likes it
Te gusta: You (formal) like it

CONDITIONAL TENSE

The keyword to remember with the conditional tense is the word “would”. With the conditional tense, one says “I would talk”, “They would eat”, “We would go”, etc.

VERB ENDINGS (AR, ER, and IR VERBS)
All verbs have the same endings.
To make a verb conditional, just take the verb and add:
IA=I (i.e.)
IR, to go
Iria a la playa.
I would go to the beach.
IA=he/she/you (i.e.)
LEER- to read
Leeria los libros.
We would read the books.
IAMOS=we (i.e.)
COMPRARIA-to buy
Compraria muchos cosas a la tienda.
We would buy many things at the store.
IAN=they
HABLAR- to speak
Hablarian a los estudiantes.
We would speak to the students.

IRREGULAR VERBBS in the CONDITIONAL TENSE:
Infinitive Conditional
Tenir- to have Tendria, I would have
Venir- to come Vendria, I would come
Poner- to put Pondria, I would put
Poder- to be able to Podria, I would be able
Saber- to know Sabria, I would know
Hacer- to do Haria, I would do
Querer- to want Querria, I would want
Decir- to say Diria, I would say
Salir- to go out Saldria, I would go out

Note: The PAST SUBJUNCTIVE (i.e. si fuera-if it was) is often used with the conditional tense to make a proper sentence. For the past subjunctive think of the word “was/was”???
For example;
1. Comeria si fuera possible. I would eat if it was possible.
2. Si fuera possible, iria a la playa. If it were possible, I would go to the beach.
